Giving to Ferry Beach
The Beach Keeper Program
Give your Time, Talent and Treasure

Picture
Do you love Ferry Beach? Would you be willing to invest your time, talent and treasure to help sustain Ferry Beach?
Enjoy yourself by giving back to a place that gives so much to each of us!

Ferry Beach Keepers: 
  • complete an application form and an assessment form (3 Forms are on the bottom of this page).
  • take 2 hours of initial training about Ferry Beach (history, legacy, mission, who we are, where are we going). 
  • choose a "specialty" and learn additional skills either on the job or in an additional workshop.
  • give 12 hours of service annually either at the beach or remotely by doing Ferry Beach Keeper work. 
  • are members of Ferry Beach and give $180 or more annually, either as sustaining donors at $15 per month, or as a one-time gift (Ages 14-18 can be Ferry Beach Keepers without being a sustaining donor)

What are our needs?
  • Transplanting dune grass to repair damage from intense winter storms and astronomical high tides.
  • Painting, cleaning, repairing, gardening, etc.
  • Working in the store in the summer or volunteering for housekeeping.
  • Volunteering to help coordinate a conference, share a skill or talent, offer a workshop, etc. 

Benefits of Being a Ferry Beach Keeper:
  • Represent a caring community of people who love Ferry Beach so much that they are willing to invest their time, talent, and treasure.
  • Learn new skills–in marketing, repair, public speaking, and more.
  • Public Recognition at the Ferry Beach Events and the Annual Meeting as Ferry Beach Keepers.
  • The satisfaction of knowing that you contributed to the sustainability of Ferry Beach. Thank you!
